Caraway-Cheese Loaf
"This is in response to a discussion on the boards, because the ingredient of the month is "beer". I haven't tried it yet, myself, but it does sound good. I think 1 cup Rye flour could also be substituted for 1 cup of the bread flour. Hope you enjoy it and would really appreciate hearing how it turns out if you decide to make it. Thanks. This could also be made using traditional bread making methods. Makes one 1 1/2 lb loaf."

When it comes to making bread or most baking to say I am not very good at it would be under stated. This turned out great for me and was pretty forgiving too. I used my bread machine, an amber beer, did not crush the caraway seeds just put em in, a little more bread flour than called for - maybe 3 tbls, it looked a little too sticky, and bread machine yeast. I have been trying to follow bread recipe's EXACTLY. This time I thought its gonna turn out crappy anyway, I'll swerve just a little. What a nice looking flavour packed loaf. Will for sure make again and again. Thanks for sharing and giving me a little more confidence in the bread making! -
Boy am I glad I noticed the can of dark beer nobody wanted! This bread is fantastic! Since I was making the bread by hand anyway, I scaled the recipe to use the entire 350 ml can. I didn't sub any ingredients. I heated the beer gently to lukewarm in the microwave, and proceeded as usual for bread. I needed about 3 tablespoons more flour, and the dough was extremely sticky after the first rise, but I managed to shape it into a loaf and some rolls. The bread rose high and light in the oven. It doesn't taste of beer, but has a mysterious something that is delicious. Thank you, Cindy Lynn, for posting this wonderful recipe.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am currently a stay at home Mom and wife (aka: homemaker, domestic engineer, chauffeur, etc.). My husband and I made this choice about 2 1/2 years ago. At the time I was averaging 72 hours/week +. Our kids were complaining that they never saw me, and one of them was even getting in trouble (too little supervision apparently). We got the troubled teen through high school, and she is currently preparing for college. Things have improved a lot so I am considering going back to work part-time while the kids are gone to school (if the right opportunity presents itself).

<br>I love to cook, especially trying new recipes. I get tired of the same ol', same ol'. I also love reading cookbooks and the history of recipes. I always hated doing all the dishes afterwards, so I did a lot of one dish meals whenever possible. Recently, my husband bought me a new dishwasher, so now I am cooking up a storm! Everyone is loving it.

<br>I look forward to making new friends in Recipezaar, trying out new recipes, and hope some of you will try some of mine. Please, if you try my recipes, take time to post a little note telling me about your experience and any modifications you may have made. I just love to experiment and try new things in the kitchen! :-))
